1. You should watch this video of Rick Santorum whining about the way his comments about people voting for Obama over Romney have been handled by the media. Nobody brings the whine quite like a white hyper-Christian male, and Santorum is the king of the white, hyper-Christian males right now.

2. This Ron Paul ad attacks Republican candidates and the media for talking about Etch-A-Sketches when there are big serious problems—problems that can obviously be solved by going back to the gold standard—going on. What's interesting is what's not in the ad:

Yeah. The implication from this ad is that Romney and Paul are the only two serious candidates in this race. You could insert any number of Romney quotes—""That's a big lava lamp, congratulations!"—to get across that he was not serious, either. This feels like a meaningful omission to me.
